1) GENERAL OUTLINEA compact, sturdy oleodynamic piston, available in a wide range of modelsto fit any need and field of operation. It is available in versions both with orwithout (reversible) hydraulic lock, that need to be equipped with an electriclock to hold the gate both closed and open.The emergency release is obtained with the special key provided.The adjustment of the pushing force is extremely precise and is performedby means of two by-pass valves that act as an antisquash safety. Theoperation at the end of the stroke is controlled electronically by a timer inthe control panel.The LUX series includes special versions with slowdown in the closingphase (LUX R) while the LUX FC series is especially suited to areas proneto heavy snowfalls or where the central gate stop cannot be provided (seespecific instruction manual).

4) INSTALLATION OF THE ACTUATOR4.1) Preliminary checksCheck:- that the structure of the gate is rigid and strong enough. In any case, the

actuator must push against a reinforced point in the leaf- that the leaves move manually without excessive effort for the whole of

their stroke- that the door stops are mounted on the leaves- If the gate being installed is not new, check whether its components

are worn.Repair or replace any worn or damaged parts.

Automation reliability and safety are directly influenced by the condition of thegate’s structure.4.2) Installation valuesThe values to be known for installation can be found in the table related to themodel being installed (fig. 3-4), with reference also to the diagram in fig. 5.The diagram in fig. 5 uses the following legend:P Gate-post fastening rear bracketF Leaf fastening front forka-b “P” bracket installation valuesC Distance between fixing points (see fig. 2)D Gate lengthX Distance from gate axis to the edge of the postZ always over 45 mm (b - X)kg max. weight of leaf (Table 1)a° leaf opening in degrees4.3) How to read the installation dimensions (fig- 3-4)From the tables (fig. 3-4), select “a” and “b” according to the angle indegrees a° that the gate has to open. Each table shows the ideal value for“a” and “b” for an opening of a°= 90° at constant speed.In this condition, the sum of “a” plus “b” gives the value of the working stroke“Cu” (fig. 2).If there is too large a difference between “a” and “b”, the leaf will not travelsmoothly and the pushing or pulling force will fluctuate during its stroke.When “a” and “b” are at their maximum, the piston develops the maximumforce. This condition is particularly useful for heavy gates or gates with very

long leaves.WARNING! The LUX models having a rod withadjustment ball joint enable the rod to be lengthenedor shortened by about 6 mm., but only if it is set inthe position shown in fig. 9 before being installed.When installed, this adjustment will allow forcorrecting the stroke of the rod. Fig. 11 shows theoscillation to which the LUX models with front andrear joint are subject with respect to the horizontalaxis.4.4) Off-standard installationsFig. 6 - need for a recess to house the controller

when the leaf is completely opened;Fig. 6 gives the size of the recess for the different LUX models.Fig. 7 - if the “a” value is higher than the values listed in the installationtables, the leaf’s hinge pivot should be shifted, or a recess be made in thegate-post (fig. 8).

4.5) Mounting the brackets to the gate-post and to the gate-leaf.Fix the bracket “P” (fig. 10) to the gate-post with a good welding.The fork “F” should be welded in the same way to the gate leaf along thedistance “C” as shown in fig. 5, taking care that the actuator is perfectlyhorizontal (level “L” fig. 10) to the line of travel of the gate.- If the gate-post is in brick, the plate “PF” must be welded to a metal base

(mod. PLE) and set soundly into the post using adequately sized cramps“Z” welded to the back of the plate (fig. 12).

- If the gate-post is in stone, the plate “PF” welded to a metal base (mod.PLE) can be fixed with four metal expansion plugs “T” (fig. 13). If a largergate is being installed it would be better to weld the plate “PF” to an angularbase (fig. 14).

5) GROUND GATE STOPSFor the controller to operate correctly the gate stops “F” must be used bothin opening and closing, as shown in fig. 15.The gate stops should prevent the rod of the actuator from reaching its endof stroke . Fig. 16 gives the values which ensure a perfect installation whenthe actuator is performing the pushing or pulling function. They must beplaced so that about a 5-10 mm margin of travel is maintained in the rod.This margin prevents any malfunctions.

6) FITTING THE ELECTRIC LOCKThis is only necessary on models without a hydraulic lock at closingend of stroke.The electric lock mod. EBP (fig. 17) consists of a continuous electromagnetwith ground catch. As long as the gearmotor is operating, this devicefeatures a non-stop excitation and maintains the bolt “D” lifted until itreaches the closing end of stroke without creating any friction. Thischaracteristic enables the pushing force to be reduced in closing which willimprove the antisquash safety level.

7) MOUNTING THE CABLE-CLAMP (fig. 18)WARNING! Fix the board “B” to the base “F” with the screws “V” provided.Place the rubber “G” in its seat in the board “B”. Slide the nut “D” onto thepower cable and pass the cable over board “B” as shown in the picture Tighten

nut “D” until the power cable is clamped.N.B. The board “B” can be fitted onto both the right and left of the base “F”,as required (see picture).The bottom of board “B” has a spiralled recess to eventually receive aspiralled sheath “GS” in PVC (Ø = 12).

8) THE ELECTRICAL PLANT SET-UPSet the electrical plant (fig. 19) according to the current standards forelectrical plants (CEI 64-8, IEC364, Harmonization HD384 and othernational regulations. Keep the power supply connections definitely separatedfrom the auxiliary connections (photocells, rubber skirts, control devices, etc.).WARNING: For the power supply connection, use a multipolar cable witha 3x1mm2 minimum section as prescribed by the above mentioned standards(for example, a H07RN-F cable with 3x1mm2 section).Perform the connections of the control and safety devices in compliancewith the above mentioned standards.Fig. 19 indicates the number of connections and the sections for 100 m.long power supply cables. For distances of over 100 m., calculate the cablesection depending on the automation actual load. If the length of theauxiliary connections exceeds 50 metres or if they pass through criticalareas subject to disturbances, we advise to disconnect the control andsafety devices with suitable relays.8.1) Automation main components (fig. 19)I) Type approved omnipolar switch with 3 mm min. contact opening.provided with overload and short-circuit protection, used to break theautomation connection from the mains. If not present, provide the automationwith a type approved differential switch with adequate capacity and a 0.03A threshold.Qr) Control unit with built-in receiverSPL) Pre-heating board for operation at temperatures below 5° C (optional)S) Key selectorAL) Blinker tuned in with antenna and RG58 cableM) ActuatorFte) Pair of outside photocells (transmitters)Fre) Pair of outside photocells (receivers)Fti) Pair of inside photocells with CF column (transmitters)Fri) Pair of inside photocells with CF column (receivers)T) 1-2-4 channel transmitterIMPORTANT: Before operating the actuator electrically, unscrew thebleeder screw “S” (fig. 20)found under the joint block and keep it forfuture uses. Remove the bleeder screw “S” only after having installedthe actuator.

9) ADJUSTING THE PUSHING FORCEThe adjustment is made by two valves marked “close” and “open” whichcontrol the pushing force during closing and opening respectively.By turning the valves towards “+”, the force is increased, while by turningthem towards “-” it is reduced.To ensure an adequate antisquash safety, the pushing force must beadjusted to just over the push needed to move the leaf, both in closing andopening. In any event, the pushing force at the end of the leaf, must notexceed the limits prescribed by current national regulations. For no reasonshould the adjustment valves (bypass) be fully closed.The actuator does not have electric limit switches. Therefore the motorsstop when the working time set in the control unit has expired. The time setmust be increased by 2-3 sec.’s with respect to the time in which the leavesreach the ground gate stops.

10) MANUAL OPENING10.1) Versions with hydraulic lockIn case of emergency, for example during a power cut, the gate can bereleased by inserting the same key “C” used to adjust the bypass valve intothe triangular pivot “P” found under the actuator (fig. 21) and turning it anti-clockwise. The gate can then be opened manually following the samespeed as an automatic opening.To restore the actuator to electrical operation, turn the key clockwise untilpivot “P” is locked.10.2) Versions without hydraulic lockIt is sufficient to open the electric lock with its key and move theleaf manually.

11) COVER POSITIONSWARNING: In the LUX G models, it may be necessary to add a 25 mm liningunder the fork “F” (fig. 23) to avoid any collision during the movement, The“C” cover of all LUX models can be changed from right to left by invertingthe position of the cap “T” (fig. 24).To fit the bypass guard (fig. 25), place it in position and insert it under the rodcover “C”.

12) CHECKING THE AUTOMATIONBefore considering the automation completely operational, the followingchecks must be made with great care:- Check that all the components are firmly anchored.- Control that all the safety means work properly (i.e. photocells, pneumatic

skirt, etc.).- Check the emergency manoeuvre control.- Check the opening and closing manoeuvres using the controls.- Check the control unit ’s electronic logic in normal

(orcustomised) operation.

13) USE OF THE AUTOMATIONSince the automation may be remote controlled either by radio or a Startbutton, it is essential that all safeties are checked frequently.Any malfunction should be corrected immediately by a qualified specialist.Keep children at a safe distance from the field of action of the automation.

14) THE CONTROLSThe controls can come in various forms (i.e. manual, remote controlled,limited access by magnetic badge, etc.) depending on needs and installationcharacteristics. For details on the various command systems, consult thespecific instruction booklets.Anyone using the automation must be instructed in its operation and controls.

15) MAINTENANCEAll maintenance on the controller must be performed with the system’spower supply shut off.- Check periodically for oil leaks. To top-up the oil proceed as follows:a) Screw in the bleeder screw (fig. 20) and remove the controller from the gate.b) Push the rod right back.c) Set the controller upright and unscrew the cap O (fig. 18).d) Use the same type of oil to top up the level until the motor bearing under

the cap “O” is covered.e) Close the cap “O” and mount the controller back onto the gate.f) Remove the bleeder screw.g) Run through 2 complete manoeuvres collecting the excess oil from the

bleeder.- Check the safety elements on the gate and drive unit.- For any malfunction that remains unsolved, shut off the power to the

system and call a qualified specialist (the installer). During a breakdown,use the manual release to allow the gate to be opened and closed byhand.

16) TROUBLE SHOOTING16.1) Faulty operation of the gearmotor- Use a suitable instrument to check if there is a voltage across the gear-

motor terminals when an open or close command has been given- If the motor vibrates but does not turn, this may be due to:- the common wire C is wrongly connected (it is always light blue)- the drive capacitor is not connected to the two drive terminals- if the leaf moves in the wrong direction, invert the drive connections of

the motor in the control unitLEAF STOP: when the operating time set in the control unit is too short, theleaves may not have time to complete their stroke. Slightly raise theoperating time in the control unit.16.2) Faulty operation of the electrical accessoriesIf any of the control and safety components are faulty, this can causemalfunctions or a breakdown of the whole automation.If the control unit is equipped with a self-diagnostics system, identify the fault.In case of a fault, it is wise to disconnect each of the components in theautomation one at a time, until the one that is causing the fault is found.After having repaired or replaced it, restore all the components that weredisconnected. For details on each component, refer to its specificinstruction manual.WARNING: Any malfunction should be corrected immediately by a qualifiedspecialist. When carrying out maintenance operations, the area around thegate should be well marked and barred in order to prevent accidents topeople, animals and objects.WARNINGS:Trouble-free operation of the controller can only be guaranteed if thedata given in this manual is respected.The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by the failure torespect safety rules, installation recommendations and instructionsgiven in this manual.
